Belgian Coins.

Some of the small Belgian coins,
which are, perhaps, the prettiest of
all modern examples, have a vigorous
effect given them, not by raising the
efigy in the center much above the
general surface, but by surrounding it
with a sunk space, from which il
stands out bold and round, although
protected from wear by the rim which
carries the inscription. With the Eng
lish or American coins, in which a
profile head or other figure swims about
in an 0cean of background, such a
treatment would be impracticable; but
the Belgian designers fit there lion
very cleverly into his circular frame,
without either crowding or awkward
vacancies. A disposition Of this sort
would be the very one which would
first occur to q trained decorative ar
fist, to whom the jumbles that now
pass muster for coinage designs would
be denominations, and a sculptor of the
first rank might then be called in with
great advantage to complete the model.

LEFT ALONE WITH THE MONEY.

Primitive Ideas Of He nesty and Hospitality
Prevailing In Montenegro.
The affairs Of Montenegro were con-
Quoted in a very peculiar fashion
when Lawrence Oliphant visited 1t,
some years ago, says the Youths Com
panion. On arriving at the little town
OF Cettinje, the capital Of the princi-
pality, he found that it contained no
hotel but that room was made for the
rare stranger at a clearinghouse con-
tanning m or two spare bedrooms.
Having been put in of these
chambers, he found it simply furnished,
and, as there was no tablo, his dinner
was spread upon a large chest which it
contained. While he was enjoying his
repast the door suddenly opened and a
stalwart Montenegrin stalked in. Says
the traveller.
He addressed me with great polite
ness in his native tongue; at least /
gathered from his manne that he was
polite, for l could not understand q
word he said.
l rose and bowed with much cere-
mony, addressing him fluently in the
English language, upon which he drew
an immense key from his pocket and
pointed to the lock of the chest, thus
giving me to understand that he wished
to open it.
In order for him to accomplish this
1t was necessary for me to remove my
dinner, an operation which was
speedily performed. As he seemed a
frank and engaging sort Of person,
without any secrets, / looked over his
shoulder as he opened the chest, to see
what was in it.
To my establishment, it vas full to
the brim of bags Of money. Not only
this but my strange visitor opened one
OF them, and poured out a handful OF
gold.
When he had counted out what he
wanted, he tied up the bag again, re-
placed it, locked up the chest, helped
me, with many S%clayonic expressions,
which l have no doubt were apologies,
to spread my banquet again, and, with
a final polite salutation, vanished
leaving me alone with the untold trea-
sure which he had thus revealed to me.
The absolute confidence placed in
me, an utter stranger, appalled, me,
and l went to sleep vainly trying to
unrayel the mystery.
1t was not solved until next day,
when l acquired the information that
the chest upon which / dined contained
the entire finances of the principally,
and that the Montenegro who had un-
locked it, and vacated his chamber In
my behalf, was its chancellor Of the
exchequer.

LIVELY WORK WITH BEARS.

A Hunter Shoots Two Of Them and Climbs
Tree to Escape u Third.
John DAILY, who, with his father, has
yesterday, says the Chico tCdl.) ChrVni-
Gle. On his way down he had quite an
adventure. They had camped at Mike
Bruce's place, just the other side of
the summit, Monday, and John took
his trusty Winchester and went out
for a hunt. He had gone but a short
distance when he came upon two half
grown bear cubs. Looking around he
espied their dam in a ravine about
two hundred yards away. She caught
sight of him, gave a sniff, and started
of with her nose in the air, as though
disguised to think that her quietude
had been broken in upon. In the mean
time one Of the cubs was making good its
retreat, while the other had taken to a
tree. John shot one of them, wound
ing it. and fearing the little brute
might squeal and call its mother back,
gave another shot which killed ii. He
then, after finding a good tree to climb
in case of an emergency, went after
the other cub, which had also climbed
a tree. He shot this one also, sending
a ball through it and causing it to emit
a shrill cry of pain and fear. John
Immediately started for his tree and
non TO soon, for the next moment the
mother bear came charging through
the forest after him. He clambered in
to the tree in a hurry, and when once
there took a shot at the enraged bear.
1t struck her in the rump, but did not
stop her. She kept on until within a
few feet Of the tree in which John was
perched, when she stopped to take a
look at him. This was his oppor-
tunity, and taking good aim he gave
her another shot, striking her in the
snout, and sent her rolling and bowling
down into the ravine. AS she did not
return to the fray John got down from
the tree and went to look for her, but
she had disappeared. He then took
off the hides of the two cubs and,
s%houldering his rifle and a good por-
ton Of ''bar meat" returned to camp.
He brought the hides to town with
him yesterday. The old bear, he says,
was a monster, and would have made
short work of him.

The German crown prince has Of
Tended the queen by violating one of
the Balmoral laws. 1t is an impera-
tive order that no royalty or member
of the household shall attend the epis-
copal church at Braemar. The queen
has always regarded the Scottish epis-
copal church with strong disapproba-
ton, which would have excited the
hearty approval of John Knox, as from
the moment her majesty crosses the
border she becomes a rigid presbyte-
rian in so far as she ignores all other
sects. Its clergy are the only ones
ever seen at Balmoral. Lord Fife and
Col. Farquharson declined to grant
any facilities for the erection of the
Episcopal church of Braemar, in defer
ence to royal suceptibilities. but not
long ago one vas built. However it
has always been boycotted by the
court till Sunday week, when the Ger
man crown prince attended service.
